Quick Installation Guide
Overview
The HDMI Wall Plate Extender Kit Wall Plate (500401-WP-US) allows HDMI
equipment to be connected up to 200 ft (60m) @ 1080i via two (2) Cat5e unshielded
twisted pair cables in a point-to-point configuration. The product also supports
1080p Deep Color up to 90 ft (27m) via Cat6 cable. The kit comes with one (1)
Transmitter and one (1) Receiver. The receiver balun features a switch that allows
the device to function without a PSU connected. Applications include; commercial
and residential AV systems, classroom projector systems, digital signage,
boardroom systems, collaborative PC systems, medical information systems.
Pre-Installation Check
Identify the connectors on the Transmitter (Source side) and Receiver (Display side). The
Source side has an HDMI In connector. The Display side has an HDMI Out connector, two
LED indicators for Power and Sync, and a Power Supply connector.

Installation
Verify that the distance between the HDMI Transmitter and Receiver are within MuxLab
specifications (see Specifications table).
If the receiver is being used without a PSU then the switch must
be set to "No-Power" and if the receiver is being used with PSU,
then the switch must be set to "Power" (factory setting)
1. Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. Two (2) Cat5e or better are
required. The pin configuration follows the EIA/TIA 568A/B standard. The
HDMI Wall Plate Extender Kit is reverse polarity sensitive. Please ensure that
wiring is straight through (Ring to Ring, Tip to Tip).
2. To install the HDMI Transmitter or Receiver in a single
back box, choose a back box with a depth of 40 mm or
more or a mud ring. Connect the RJ45 plug into the rear of
the extender. Secure the extender with the 2 front screws.
3. Place a Decora® faceplate (not included) and secure with
the 2 front screws.
In order to install the Transmitter, please follow the steps below:
4. Connect the Transmitter to the HDMI video source with an HDMI compliant
cable.
5. Connect two (2) lengths of Cat5e (or higher) grade UTP cables to the Video
and DDC OUT connectors on Transmitter.
In order to install the Receiver, please follow the steps below:
6. Connect the Receiver to the HDMI display equipment with an HDMI compliant
cable.
7. Connect the two (2) Cat5e cables to the Video and DDC IN connectors of the
Receiver.
Note: Verify that the cables are connected straight-through (i.e. Video
to Video, DDC to DDC) and not inverted.
8. Connect the 12 VDC power supply first to the Receiver and then plug the
power supply into an AC power outlet. If power is present, then the green
power LED will be ON.
Note: Power the HDMI Wall Plate Extender Balun only after all
connections are made.
9. Power on the HDMI equipment and verify the image quality
